creating space for beauty & simplicity

A Visit with Nan and Pop

September 26, 2013

yesterday morning i was in my grandparents neighborhood running errands and as busy as i was i just had to stop by.
nan made me a cup of tea and we sat and the three of us sat and chatted for a bit in the breakfast room.
i left with a few tomatoes from their garden and a pocketful of peppermint patties.

words cannot express how much i love these two and not a day goes by where i don’t appreciate having them around.
at 89 years old the both of them are still going strong.

the rest of my day felt a little brighter as i carried their energy along with me.

i love all of the memories i have spending time together and how so many things remind me of them….

I love this so, so much…I was really close with my grandparents as well. They lived to be 92 and 95…and sadly have been gone for a few years now. I miss them every day…and like you, have wonderful memories of time with them. I think of Noni every night as I prepare dinner and use her old salt shaker.

Love this post so much, it reminded me of all the special things that I associate with my (now passed) grandparents. My grandmother also had a table with a beautiful statue of Mary. Thank you for sharing!
